A Wind Blew Out of Eden
A wind blew out of Eden
and whispered through my hair
tempting me with paradise
a world without a care.
It crooked it's finger calling me
it flirted hard with batted eyes
promising my heart would heal
wrapped in a numb disguise.
It laughed as if it really knew
what happiness might be
and danced with energetic joy
and bubbled painfully with glee.
It kissed me with the sunshine
and loved me with the rain
it pledged to me I'd never
feel the bite of pain again.
My eyes half shut in Eden's trace,
escaping seemed so sweet
until a child's tears reached my ears
and then propelled a mother's feet...
If I can kiss away the hurt,
and I can feel the human depth
then Eden can't seduce me yet
I've too much living left...
